Mechanical Engineering Graduate Students
Mechanical Engineering graduate students should consult with the graduate faculty advisor on course selection, examinations, and research. Graduate faculty advisors are identified in the first semester based on mutual research interests. In addition to your graduate faculty advisor, questions can be directed to the graduate program coordinator and/or the graduate program director.
Graduate Program Coordinator: Wendy Karpowitz, wkarpowitz@ku.edu
Graduate Program Director: Dr. Sara Wilson, sewilson@ku.edu
They can both help answer course, degree, or career questions throughout your graduate career.
